Yes, although you can have a single X server controlling multiple graphics cards. Why do you configure your screens in that way and not just span a single screen across both monitors? It's not a criticism, just wondering if there is a different way to achieve what you want - having multiple screens like this is not a "normal" way of doing things. Note, for those people who have commented elsewhere, a "screen" in X11 speak is NOT a monitor/display; having multiple screens is not the same as having multiple displays - a screen can span display devices, or you can have multiple screens on the same display using virtual terminals. > > > > > What I suggest you do is to install some form of clipboard manager - > > clipit, parcellite, etc. - and then you can see what's actually being > > cut and where the problem is. > > > > Ok, tried both and they both worked a couple times at first and then > the paste stopped working again...

Clearly then Evolution is accessing a different clipboard buffer on each screen - I wonder if it's something to do with GTK rather than X itself. Do other pure Gnome applications show the same issues?
